Ao No Exorcist: My first impression

Finally I got the chance to watch the very first epi of AO NO EXORCIST (trans: The Blue Exorcist) and I adore it. This anime is worth watching and I am going to follow this series till the end.

In 1st episode: Demons Dwell in the Hearts of Human, we are introduced to the main protagonist Rin Okumura. He has a twin, Yukio who is the exact opposite of him. Yukio is bookish, mild-mannered and intelligent while Rin is rowdy, rough delinquent and a tad cantankerous. Both of them live in a old church together with their guardian named Shiro Fujimoto.

It seems that, Rin is a loser and always runs into trouble whenever he goes. Nevertheless, unbeknown to him, he possesses a special power as a result of his 'special' lineage....

I really love the portrayal of the protagonist and his characteristic. The graphic and animation are excellent and the best of all, I really adore the ED theme. The title is Take Off by a South Korean boy band 2PM.




I can't wait for the ext episode... Finally a good anime series that is worth watching!

Deadman Wonderland anime PV Trailer

This is someting that I might like... Best of all, ROMI PARK will be the voice of the male protagonist! Now, how cool is that??!!!

I have downloaded the first epi via realityLapse.com but since I am up-to-my-nose occupied with work and other errands thus, watching it will be put on hold... Anyway, I hope the characteristic of the protagonist will justify Romi Park's effin' awesome talent. Just you wait!

I THINK might like it...

Lately, I found that anime series are not like they used to be. Or is it me who has changed? I notice that the themes and the subject matters of most anime series last season are not my cuppa tea. Age factor, I reckon. Or I would like to rephrase it as: I am getting older. I am HUNGRY for good series like Inuyasha, or Jigoku Shoujo or Paradise Kiss or my favorite Honey and Clover. Anyway while browsing for a new anime series to watch I stumbled upon HANASAKU IROHA... I tried watching the first episode and I think I MIGHT like it....

Hanasaku Iroha centers around Ohana Matsumae, a 16-year-old teenager living in Tokyo, who is left in the care of her estranged grandmother, following her mother's elopement with her boyfriend. Ohana arrives at her grandmother's country estate to realize she is the owner of a Taishō period hot spring inn called, Kissuisō. She begins working at Kissuisō, at her grandmother's request, but finds herself at ends with many employees and customers at the inn. Initially feeling discouraged, she decides to use her circumstances as an opportunity to change herself for the better and to make amends with her deteriorating relationship with the Kissuisō staff for a more prominent future.

[Note]

I am TOO lazy to even rite a review for the first epi...

The clash of the Vasto Lorde!

I have dropped BLEACH and I have stopped watching the episodes. However, I stumbled upon this MV. OMG! This is so freakin' awesome! Anyway, I am wondering... how's everything with Bleach. I heard that Aizen is defeated...

Hmm... I am contemplating whether I should re-follow this series....

Level E: A keeper!

When I first watched the very first epi of Level E, I was instantaneously hooked! This is definitely important as I am not a big fan of sci-fi anime. This series is funny and somewhat quirky. The best thing about this series is the portrayal of Prince Baka Ki El Dogra a.k.a Baka Ouji, the alien prince. His name absolutely justifies everything about him: STUPID!

Another reason why I think this series is a keeper is because of the portrayal of the roommate, Yukitaka Tsutsui. He is supposed to lead a peaceful life as a student who majors in sports. However, his dream is shattered into smithereens when he meets with the stupid prince. The combi of two equals explosive humour!

Yukitaka: Ok, listen here Blondie... I AM the lead in this series, got it!

Baka : Hell, no!

I am not familiar with the manga, though, since each week we are introduced to a different mini-sode. At the moment, I am at epi 5 and it is the funniest epi ever.

It's a must-watch anime series of this season! Mark my word!

Kimi Ni Todoke Season 2: Love triangle alert!

There something mysterious about Kimi Ni Todoke serialization... In my humble and honest opinion, there is nothing great about this series. The plot is way too slow for my taste and the characterization is just mediocre. But I keep coming back for more!

The 2nd season took off where it used to be... No development whatsoever! Sigh.... I was hoping that Kazehaya would own up to his feeling since the last episode of Kimi Ni Todoke season 1 had somehow ignited a so-called spark between the two. But then again, Kuronuma Sawako a.k.a Sadako and Kazehaya Shouta are not moving forward. To my dismay, they are still fumbling in the dark despites the ample hints and giveaways. For goodness sake, Kazehaya! Be a man and confess... You can't lose what you never had!

Kazehaya, meet Kento. I believe, he is going to be your rival...

And then comes Kento Miura and hence the plot thickens! Yeay! Finally, a development! Warning: love triangle ahead! Anyway, I would love to congratulate Kento for his bravado in his effort to get into Sawako's good book. Atta boy!

Whoaaa..... too close!

My dropped list

I know it's been a while since I updated my blog. I have been uber busy these few months. I also felt rather down since the endings of all my favorite anime series. Well, good things always come to an end, finally.

At the moment, I just came back from anime-shopping. Well, I might say most of this season's anime series are not really my cuppa tea.I have been downloading several 1st episodes. And finally I decided to drop some.

1. Infinite Stratos a.k.a IS

This is a seinen anime with a science fiction theme. It's about a boy who is forced to study in all-girls school. Why? Well, it seems that IS technology can only be used by girls and by twist of fate, Orimura, our male protagonists, seems to posses the ability to harness the IS...

The reason why I dropped it is because I don't really fancy harem kind of anime and also, mecha anime has never been in my list.

2. Fractale

This is another science fiction themed anime series that I have to drop. The edge that this series offers is the setting. It resembles the future Ireland. Somehow, this series reminds me of one of the Studio Ghibli's productions.... But I couldn't recall which one.

3. Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!

Now, that's a mouthful! Well, I dropped this just because I found it rather distasteful. Falling in love with your brother is quite revolting. I know, I know... they are not related by blood at all...But then again it doesn't appeal to me. Dropped!

Well, soon I am going to share about my on-going lists...
